Wow that thema is a bargain at that price.
If I only had the money I could come to the UK, bring it here and easily sell it for £9-10k

intending to use it extensively but unfortunately I have had little opportunity to do so.

....since I discovered how much Petrol it uses

[steve_earwig]

That's probably about right, sadly. Still, much more interesting than that SIerra and at a fraction of the price

Edit:

Any inspection welcome to the over 100 watchers out there!!

Looks like we're not the only people who know what it is

What's that thing carved into the boot lid? a poppy-up spoiler?

I spotted a bit of Black PVC tape on the Rev-o-meter I wonder which warning light that covers?

Nice motor though, something I'd buy as a toy/weekender.

Yes the 8.32 had a switchable pop up spoiler. Pops up with a switch on the headlight stalks if I remember correctly.

Somebody's got good eyes, it took me a while to spot it even after you mentioned it (but I am half way across the room)

Its definatley more interesting and rarer than a sierra. I bet a massive v8 driving the front wheels would soon teach you the meaning of understeer.

As for the tape on the tachometer, here is another tachometer if its any help:

Nope, still can't tell - that's a shame as I like a good investigation

[Welly]

Just noticed the speedo rests on 20mph, like there's no point trying to register anything less

Here is another 8.32 here in ireland:

as for pictures i found this slideshow:

but still no clearer image of that hidden light:

[Nightshade]

Perhaps it's not hiding anything. It could be load bearing tape knowing lancia...

[FarmerPug]

i asked the seller what the light behind the tape was and got this
Always assumed it was covering a crack. I'll check it out
Regards

[FarmerPug]

The seller says its the abs light but the car has had work done which fixed the issue, now the light comes on and goes out as normal
